And unless you've only ever bought one of a kind children's you've probably also found that you child has the exact same...coat/cup/shoes/etc as some other kid.
And if you're like me you've TRIED a few things to remedy this situation, but not had much luck. When it comes to bottles and sippy cups there really is no such thing as a PERMANENT marker. And trying to mark clothes has been about as successful for me. Writing with a marker on the tag of a coat leads to one big black blob. This blob is only affective if the mother of the child with the identical item isn't as put together as myself and 'marked' their item as well.
Then along came the solution. :::Insert choir singing::: Name Bubbles has solved the labeling dilemma for every issue we've had. Name Bubbles has a huge assortment of label styles and packages available but we got the Camp Pack. Because I have all boys and we had things down AND the older two have many things that are actually interchangable, I had them simply printed with our last name. Here's what cam in our Pack:I've already started labeling everything that will hold still. And while I LOVE all the labels, the ones that I'm actually most excited about AFTER actually seeing them are the laundry safe Bubble Toes with covers. See them below, aren't they cute?
Since shoes are one (of two) things we do NOT hand down, these ended up working out perfectly. Even though they all 'say' the same thing, there are three colors, and we have three kids. So each child's shoes are marked in the same color. No more trying to figure out who's shoes are who's based on the amount of dirt on them. YES, this does actually happen. As at current the older boys both have the exact same shoes but son #1 has had his since September and son #2 just got his.
I have also marked all the bottles/sippy cups and our diaper bag so that we don't have to worry about marking each of them each week when we drop son #3 at the nursery at church.
I have to admit I wondered 'how' these label could actually do all they say. Honestly I wondered how a "label" would even really stick to some of the surfaces it claims to. And while I still don't know 'how,' I can say they really DO and I guess that's all I really need to know.
While these labels are obviously perfect for little kids stuff, they aren't just for the younger crowd. They are great for bigger kids, especially those going to camp (hence the camp pack) or involved in sports. But also for college students and also for those in nursing home type situations.
In addition to having a great product, the people at Name Bubbles are also wonderful to work with. So wonderful in fact, that they're going to give a Camp Pack, with your choice of color, icon and text to one lucky reader.
